After nine years and 92,000 miles under my ownership, my fun, easy-to-drive 2005 Mazda RX-8 Grand Touring 6M wit 103,788 miles has gone to Carmax and soon to auction. With a new engine imminent, it was time to sell it while I still could. If you want to read about my Carmax experience and the $3K I got, go here: http://ift.tt/1KngWpM
I've moved onto a 2014 BMW 428i M-Sport six-speed manual, Black Sapphire Metallic with a Coral Red leather interior. It is my first German car and I was trying to avoid a 3 Series 4DR since they are so common around here. Getting to know the 428i the more I drive it, but it is nice to have full torque coming on by 2K RPM and easily getting 33-35MPG going 75MPH on the freeway while being quicker all around. That said, I would swap out the BMW's steering with the RX-8s though - it is superior in feel, and I can't wait to dump the runflats for Pilot Super Sports.
I think a lot of us early RX-8 owners have moved on and the board seems a lot quieter nowadays, but I really appreciate all the help and advice that everyone has provided throughout the years - it was invaluable. Any messages still forward to my email. So on that note - good night, and good luck!
